Microtransactions are fine as long as they're not required to proceed in the game, tbh.

They never are and this Attitüde is what got us in this microtransaction hell in the first place.
A ton of mtx are pay to win.
I'd prefer we stop calling these MTX. They are paid cheats.
Some microtransactions are fine for free-to-play games and MMOs; I don't really like seeing them in full-priced games, especially if I feel it's engineered in a way to make me pay to play. It's why I avoid mobile games in general, playing them feels very predatory.

I’m pretty excited for this game. Luckily, I haven’t played divinity original sin 2 and it’s available on the switch. After I finish Disco Elysium and Divinity Original Sin 2 I’ll pickup a steam deck and this game.
the question developers and publishers should ask themselves is this: are we trying to make a video game to sell, or are we trying to make an onlyfans with more button clicking ?
Larian makes video games.
Do they, though? Companies have been raking billions out of microtransactions, so clearly not everyone hates them.
Food prices have skyrocketed and people still go out to eat. What you are proposing is austerity. People denying themselves things because of price point preference and principals will generally not work because people like having things, like having fun, etc. All it does it ensure companies can squeeze people that have very limited time for their limited cash.
